The problem is Grant isn't a notorious pass rusher. He can't pass rush from the out side he DEFINATELY won't be able to pass rush from the inside.

The Saints will do exactly what the Giants did to generate a pass rush. From the outside Grant doesn’t have the speed but can still get to the QB but Grant will have an advantage over an offensive guard with speed and power. With that being said, the need for a DT in the first round is not necessary. With McCray we have 3 quality DE’s and all can stop the run as well. We can get a DT in round 3 so LB/CB will be the position taken in the draft. And we should get the highest rated LB/CB available but I’m leaning towards USC/Keith Rivers

I'm all for the trade down scenario. I've been beating that to death for months now, no surprise, you all are probably tired of hearing me say it. But here's one that might surprise you - if Ellis fell to us, I'd still consider trading down. If Ellis is going to be as good as everyone says, he won't fall to us anyway. But if he did - some team out there might be willing to break the bank to work out a trade with us.

I do want a 3 technique tackle this year, don't get me wrong. I definitely want one. But I would prefer a proven one over a rookie. In a nutshell, I want Dewayne Robertson. The last I heard, the deal between Denver and NY was going bad. If we traded down because another team was foaming at the mouth to get Ellis, we'd be well armed to pull the trigger with NY.

Would I mind if we drafted Ellis? Of course not, I'd love it. But would I mind if we traded down when he was on the board? No, not if Robertson was still out there.

But this is all pointless. Neither Dorsey nor Ellis will be on the board at #10.
